5 Places ‘Stranger Things’ Should Film In Wyoming

Netflix smash hit 'Stranger Things' will return for season two on Friday, October 27. Nine episodes are planned for release this fall.

The series is a sci-fi drama which follows a group of kids in a small Indiana town. After a 12-year-old goes missing, the a bizarre investigation ensues unraveling government secrets and supernatural creatures.

Despite the show depicting the crew growing up in Indiana, actual filming is done on a studio lot in Georgia.

It may be nearly 2,000 miles away, but we think 'Stranger Things' could benefit from filming a few episodes in Wyoming. Check out some of our ideas for filming locations...

1

F.E. Warren Air Force Base

There are a multitude of government cover-ups that we're just getting into with this series. F.E. Warren would serve as a great backdrop as we learn more about Eleven's past.

2

Hell's Half Acre

This odd terrain between Casper and Riverton worked perfectly for the movie 'Starship Troopers.' We think it could serve as a unique landscape for "the upside down."

3

South Pass City

Abandoned mines, old vacant buildings, a creepy and cool atmosphere that would be perfect for the crew to find some drama.

4

Medicine Bow National Forest

Many outdoor shots of the fake Indiana setting are in dense forest. We don't have a lot of dense forest options, but Medicine Bow would do nicely. Plus, we really want to see Medicine Bow Peak in "the upside down."

Union Pacific Railroads

Anywhere along the Union Pacific railroad tracks seems like a great fit for this 1980's-based series.
